In order to secure perfect rigidity of the leg andthe pipe passing through it, I have provided the screw 0, which is seated through the upper flange of the leg-body A and whose lower end impinges upon the upper surface of the pipe, as shown by the dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 3. the leg is to be used at the end of the coil 01) posite to that at which the steam or hot water is admitted, I have provided the plug D,which When I is to be screwed into position as indicated in 7 section in Fig.3.
